Anita Shreve

[Inanna]

Has anyone here read any of Anita Shreve's books?

I was browsing through Read It, Swap It and found a couple of books by this author and they looked quite good. So I accepted a swap with one of her books and I was just interested in any opinions of her work!

Have two of her books actually, but I read them a while ago and forgot the story!

[Maureen]

One of them I actually put on my sell/swap it list!

One of them I actually put on my sell/swap it list!

LOL really?

I thought her books looked good :D

[Maureen]

It does not mean that they're not, it means I don't want to re-read it!

I have Light on Snow upstairs, but I haven't read it yet.

My favourite was Pilots Wife ...was the first of hers I read and have read a few others the names of which escape me.

I've read Eden Close, which I enjoyed, and I have a couple of others on my 'to read' pile. :)

I really enjoyed When or Where and althought I wasnt so impressed with The Pilots Wife, it wouldnt put me off trying more from Anita Shreve.
Any more recommendations?

I loved Fortune's Rocks. It has one of the best repeated lines, or refrains, that I've ever read. Of course, it could be that it resonated with me 'cause I'd just split up with someone when I read it, but...I enjoyed it. So there. :tong:

I have read The Pilot's Wife some years back & liked it. I've also read Fortune's Rocks & Eden Close but cannot recall what they are about (I am getting old and forgetful).

Has anyone read All He Ever Wanted? Is it an enjoyable read? I thought of reading that once I'm done reading my current books.

You can always use spoiler tags. Just highlight the offending text and click the big yellow "S"

I bought Eden Close in a charity shop this week.
I hadnt heard of the book before reading When or Where but my daughter is called Eden. She is almost 5 and I thought I was being really original with her name - he ho!

I've only read Wedding in December, and loved it. It has such heart. Wonderful story. I definitely recommend it.

I've only read The Weight of Water by Anita Shreve. I first saw the movie on television a few years ago (I had to watch it because Sarah Polley was in it), and I liked the movie and was really captured by the story which is based on the true events of the Smuttynose Island murders of 1873. I decided to read the book as well and it was a great read too. In fact it was so good that I had to buy the book :blush:

The only one of hers I've read is Light on Snow, which I really liked. I have A Wedding in December on my tbr.
